$60 or $600? If $60 you got a holiday special! haha
$60.00!! Gotta love CL and the Holidays! They have a couple of scuff marks on them and one of the tires is cupped really bad, thats why I am painting them. I now have 6 xtra tires, lol.
Does anyone have have a thread on how to paint them or what paint to use, and you all think gun metal? Even though the Commander is Grey?

x3 on gunmetal, post after pics, I have the same Rubi rims & tires
Gunmetal would look sweet, but I'm a fan of black. I think with the black accents on your Jeep it would look sick with black wheels. I just did a quick, terrible job in Microsoft paint, but it kind of gives you the idea lol. Bottom line, for $60, you've already won lol.

That looks great! Tough decision now. I am kind of leaning toward Gun metal i think, I really like AJs wheels...
I have the next 6 days off work, so this should get done
I definitely think gunmetal will look cool on your rig and be a bit more unique as well. And it will still look great with other black accents.
that is a great job coloring the wheels. Try it in other colors!Quote:

Haha if you do that youll def get looked at
I bet you'd be the first Jeeper with pink wheels lol. Gunmetal will look sick for sure man. Be sure to post some pics once you get them all done.
Pink is always my first recommendation.
Black with gunmetal face
I think I am going to do Gun Metal for the face, and leave the center cap, lug nut holes, and inside sections silver. If it looks like ****, I will just paint them all gun metal
Even if it looks bad take a pic before you cover it up I'm interested how thats going to look.Quote:

I will post pics later
Matt-
I am getting these put on today, are these different than my stock as far as back spacing. Will these create rubbing for me? I only have 1.25 inch Spidertracks, John has 1.5 on his? Just done want to have the rubbing start up again.
My stock wheels are 7.5" wide with 43.8" offset which equates to 6" backspace.
I *believe* the stock rubi wheels are 7.5" wide and 6.25" backspace.. So they'll may just sit 1/4" further inwards than your current wheels which will actually help clear the pinch weld area.
Your 1.25" spidertracks make the rubi wheels effectively 7.5" wide with 5" backspace which is perfectly fine.
Cool thanks man. I ran out of time to get them put on today :(
Now they will sit until after the New Years Trail Ride...
